Some of you guys are full of it!!!
The fact is, it varies radically depending on how heavy the aircraft is, the atmospheric conditions at the airfield, and whether alternate aircraft configurations are required.
As a C-5 Galaxy Instructor Pilot (a C-5 is slightly larger than a Boeing 747) the slowest takeoff speed I have seen was 107 knots (this is about 123 miles per hour). We were EXTREMELY lightweight, had very little fuel (it was going to be a flight lasting only a few minutes after we dropped off the Presidential Motorcade in Washington D.C. on our way back to our home base in Delaware).
The highest takeoff speed I have done in a C-5 was 161 knots (this is about 185 miles per hour). I did this at Doha, Qatar in the summer of 2004. We were extremely heavy weight and had to do what we call a "rotate increase" of 15 knots due to three-engine climb capability. Doha's runway, incidentally, is the world's longest paved runway, and we needed a good chunk of it to get airborne as it was extremely hot outside that day.

It relies upon greater on situations, the pilot, and slightly success than the size of the airplane. i've got been on a 747 that landed with a distinctive thud and a Beech 1900 that landed like a feather. Pilots in many cases try for a soft landing, yet there are cases whilst a miles less assailable arrival is safer, and different cases whilst the was hoping for "greaser" in simple terms does not paintings out.

that all depends on the wind speed and barometric pressure and also the temperature of the air

15mph or 19mph in high winds so it doesn't get blown away
